Embrace the Center

[ck4829]

A Left-Center-Sane Right Coalition could beat Bush and the Hard Right.

"A newly assertive bipartisan coalition of independent-minded lawmakers first showed itself Monday night in the Senate fight over federal judges, then again in the House of Representatives' approval Tuesday of a bill that would allow federal financing for new lines of embryonic stem-cell research."

America faces a threat from a Radical Group of people so far in the Right that they call themselves Traditionalists (which I think is a codeword for 'Reactionary').

They WANT us to be separate while they secretly take over America. No! We can not let this happen. We may have to swallow our pride, we may have to do the unthinkable.

We have to declare a truce with our political opponents if we want to beat the Reactionary Neo-Con/Dominionist Threat.

1. Yup.

Compromise and cooperation is the American Way.

We have to find the balance. Presently, it does not exist.

2. Rubbish!

This is complete and utter nonsense.

Gore moved to the center. He lost.
Kerry moved to the center. Kerry supported the Iraq war. He lost.

This is a very simple fact.
The extent to which there is no distinction between you and an incumbent party is the extent to which there is no reason to replace that incumbent party.

Furthermore, can you explain how Democrats can move to the center when the party clearly already has moved to the center? Are you saying we need to move to the right?

Pshaw! No wonder Dems keep losing elections. There's nimrods like these guys who think that Dems aren't right wing enough.

RUBBISH! You want to win? You've got to have a program that's *different* from the opposition. Get it!

Sheesh!

4. Who are the Centrists in

this group Republicans-- maybe Chafee. The others are Conservative
and so stated. MCCain lets it be known I am Conservative.and does
not wish to be called Moderate.

Among the Dems--They are all Conservative Democrats. I am not being
meanspirited. I believe most of them would admit they are Conservative
Democrats.

Do not get me wrong this group did a very good thing, IMO

Trying to characterize them in some "cuddly" way. to make them more palatble is disgusing. Conservatives can do go things. Liberals
can do things. Doing a good thing does not change who they are.
